What was missed

Issue #139 required two subprocess tests covering --doc-map path validation in main(): one for path traversal (../../../etc/passwd) and one for a nonexistent file. PR #140 added 7 tests but did not implement either of these two acceptance criteria. The --doc-map flag validation logic in main() remains untested.

Source

  • PR: #140 — test(#139): improve cmd/review-bot coverage from 44.6% to 49.3%
  • Linked issue: #139 — test: improve cmd/review-bot coverage
  • Acceptance criteria missed:
    • TestMainSubprocess_InvalidDocMapPath--doc-map ../../../etc/passwd fails with path traversal error
    • TestMainSubprocess_InvalidDocMapFile--doc-map nonexistent.yml fails with workspace resolve error

What needs to happen

  • Add TestMainSubprocess_InvalidDocMapPath: subprocess test that passes --doc-map ../../../etc/passwd and asserts non-zero exit with an error message referencing path traversal.
  • Add TestMainSubprocess_InvalidDocMapFile: subprocess test that passes --doc-map nonexistent.yml and asserts non-zero exit with an error message referencing workspace resolve or nonexistent file.
  • Both tests must follow the existing TestMainSubprocess_* pattern (env gate TEST_SUBPROCESS_MAIN=1).
  • All existing tests must continue to pass.

Plan

Problem

The --doc-map flag path validation in main() is unreachable by existing subprocess tests because it occurs at step 6c — after PR fetch from the server. We need two subprocess tests that exercise:

  1. Path traversal rejection (../../../etc/passwd)
  2. Nonexistent file rejection (nonexistent.yml)

Constraints

  • Must follow existing TestMainSubprocess_* pattern (env gate TEST_SUBPROCESS_MAIN=1)
  • All existing tests must continue to pass
  • Cannot depend on a running Gitea/GitHub server

Proposed Approach

Move --doc-map path validation earlier in main() — right after the reviewer-name/repo/PR-number validations (around line 170) and before any network client initialization. This is the same pattern used for other path-based flags like --persona-file validation location.

Specifically:

  1. Add an early validation block after flag.Parse() and the existing flag checks that calls validateWorkspacePath(*docMapFile, "doc-map") when *docMapFile != "". This exits with a descriptive error before any network I/O.
  2. Keep the later step 6c logic (which loads/parses the file), but the path validation will have already passed by then, so the early validateWorkspacePath call catches bad paths.
  3. Add TestMainSubprocess_InvalidDocMapPath — passes --doc-map ../../../etc/passwd with GITHUB_WORKSPACE set to a temp dir, asserts non-zero exit and error output containing "resolves outside workspace" or "doc-map".
  4. Add TestMainSubprocess_InvalidDocMapFile — passes --doc-map nonexistent.yml with GITHUB_WORKSPACE set to a temp dir, asserts non-zero exit and error output referencing "failed to resolve" or "doc-map".

Error Cases

  • Path traversal (../../../etc/passwd): filepath.Rel detects the relative path starts with .. → exits with "doc-map resolves outside workspace"
  • Nonexistent file (nonexistent.yml): filepath.EvalSymlinks fails with ENOENT → exits with "failed to resolve doc-map"

Edge Cases

  • GITHUB_WORKSPACE unset: falls back to os.Getwd() — tests set it explicitly via env to control behavior
  • --doc-map empty (default): validation block skipped entirely — no behavioral change

Testing Strategy

  • Both tests use the subprocess pattern: re-invoke the test binary with TEST_SUBPROCESS_MAIN=1
  • Pass GITHUB_WORKSPACE pointing to os.TempDir() (which exists but won't contain traversal targets or the nonexistent file)
  • Use cleanEnv() to strip interfering env vars, then add GITHUB_WORKSPACE explicitly
  • Assert non-zero exit code and expected error substring in combined output

Completion Checklist

  1. Early validation block added for --doc-map before network calls?
  2. TestMainSubprocess_InvalidDocMapPath passes --doc-map ../../../etc/passwd and asserts path traversal error?
  3. TestMainSubprocess_InvalidDocMapFile passes --doc-map nonexistent.yml and asserts resolve error?
  4. Both tests use the TEST_SUBPROCESS_MAIN=1 env gate pattern?
  5. Both tests use cleanEnv() + explicit GITHUB_WORKSPACE?
  6. All existing tests still pass (go test ./...)?
  7. No changes to validateWorkspacePath function itself (already correct)?

Open Questions

  • The early validation for doc-map will call validateWorkspacePath which calls EvalSymlinks. For the nonexistent case, this catches it at the early check. The later step 6c ParseDocMapConfig call would also fail, but it's now unreachable for bad paths. This duplication is intentional — fail fast. Acceptable?
  • Should the early validation error use fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, ...) (like missing-flags) or slog.Error(...) (like invalid-repo)? The existing step 6c uses slog.Error. I'll match that for consistency.

Resolved by PR #152.

  • TestMainSubprocess_InvalidDocMapPath added to cmd/review-bot/main_test.go (tests path traversal via validate-docmap subcommand)
  • TestMainSubprocess_InvalidDocMapFile added to cmd/review-bot/main_test.go (tests nonexistent file via validate-docmap subcommand)

Note: both tests exercise the validate-docmap subcommand which uses validateDocmapPath — the same path validation logic. Testing via the main review flow would require a live VCS server as --doc-map is processed at step 6c, after all VCS/PR setup.
